Monk-ey Business
Paul Motian - Monk In Motian
One of Miles Davis’s criticisms of the jazz world (at least, of those that came after him, especially Winton Marsalis, whom he loathed) was that they were merely repeating what had been done in the past, without pushing things forward. You might well be able to play Giant Steps, but so what? John Coltrane has already done that.
Davis, of course, genius though he undoubtedly was, ignored the fact that he himself had built on others’ work – Monk’s Round Midnight for example, whilst negging whoever would come next.
However, there is a truth in this – and it encapsulates much of my issue with modern jazz (rather than Modern Jazz). Things aren’t being driven forward in any meaningful way. It feels like the golden days are over. I listen to ABC Jazz sometimes and it’s all so easy listening.
Here, we have an album which is far from easy listening. It’s an album of ten Thelonious Monk tunes, played sparsely by drums, guitar and saxophone, with occasional piano and more saxophone. It’s sounds very of its (late-eighties) time and it’s a challenging listen.
Although the players are all top-notch, including Bill Frisell and Dewey Redmond, no less, I’m not convinced they’ve brought anything particularly new or meaningful to the Monk table, which is often challenging enough in itself.
This album was given to me when it was released by a mate who was a record company rep, who was promoting the JMT catalogue.

People experience mental fatigue, stress, and physical health problems. However, everyone's lifestyle, biology, and psychology are different. Current apps offer "general recommendations," not personalized ones.
Stress, anxiety, lack of focus, insomnia and loss of motivation are on the rise in people worldwide. Current wellness apps give everyone the same advice, there are no personalized solutions. People want a healthy life but can't find a personal system to guide them.
AI-based mental health applications, in particular, are one of the areas where investors are currently pouring the most money (Calm, Headspace, Wysa, Replika, Mindstrong, etc.).
In short, the applications at the lower level of the project we are doing are generating billions of dollars. We are building a project that receives large investments across the market.
We will sell our product at a price of 300 US dollars.
We will have our product produced by technology companies in India, thus eliminating the need for labor and producing a quality product at a low cost.
We will sell our product in two ways. First, we will create our own website, display our product internationally on our website and sell it all over the world. Thanks to our strong advertising network, we will introduce and sell our products to many people and achieve large sales in a short time. Second, we will make agreements with technology stores around the world and sell them to them. They will sell to people in their own countries and earn money.
There will be a 2-month production process and a 2-month sales process, so we will be able to achieve great income by working quickly and in a balanced manner.
